The administration should figure out a way to incorporate a shuttle that can take students back and forth from the North Village to the arena on game days. Just a thought.
They all drive their own cars.
All Students are required to park in their designated parking area per Parking Pass code.
When I was at Furman, FuPo really enjoyed finding a parking sticker in the wrong color lot.

I don't want to drag this out more so we can all whine. I am just stating a fact that Furman students park in their designated area and then are walking everywhere else.

Also, someone earlier said that Furman is becoming a commuter school. That is a load of crap. Almost nobody at Furman goes home on weekends, definitely less than my friends did at USC and Clemson.

Furman is a fudging hard school. Students are working harder there than they will be when they get a job, Furman was harder than grad school for me. If they don't have the time or energy to go to a basketball game then that is fine because they are paying a lot of money for one of the top educations in the country.

Please can we stop blaming students for not showing up at the game. It is not a requirement.
Umm, nobody is getting any parking ticket at the Timmons Arena parking lot, which typically have an abundance of spaces for basketball games.

Just curious: what do you do as a career? What did you study at FU?

I gotta agree with JohnKX512 on nearly everything above. I graduated 6 years ago. While certainly not current, I gotta think most of what he said hasn't changed:

- If I parked anywhere on campus besides my designated parking lot I got ticketed (including Timmons during basketball games, I know from experience).
- Furman's academics were very time consuming for me as well, certainly more time consuming than my graduate coursework and current employment.
- Furman has several things for students to do every evening on campus. Do not fault students for choosing to be lazy and not attend. Many don't care for basketball and choose other activities.

OK...We can just fault them for this, then.
